Good debates? Good if you are a white supremacist and COVID conspiracy theorist
He was moaning on Twitter because Sainsburys tweeted about Black History Month, he said he would boycott Sainsburys, which seems a bit of an extreme reaction for a non racist.He's an oddball thats for sure, he certainly has not signed up to the Woke Party but I'd not say he's racist over his comments about a film, ignorant of historical facts yes; has he said anything else?
I'd not vote for him or pop down the pub with the fella but remember, people voted for Boris so lets hope history does not repeat itself and elect another idiot as Major of London.
Also, being unpleasant to a 'junior' employee can be counter productive in the long term. Cilla Black was well known for being horrible to the researchers, runners etc. when she hosted Blind Date. When one of the said 'little people' became a very senior executive at ITV they had no hesitation in cancelling Blind Date, Surprise, Surprise etc. and Cilla's contract, and apparently sent her agent a two line email saying that they no plans to work with Cilla in the future.Like an earlier poster said, coming from a well connected family and going to a posh school will get you to the front the queue. But if you don’t deliver the goods then you won’t stay there. Fox has the problem of being an ok actor with a massive ego and bad attitude: there are numerous reports of his unpleasantness on set. After a while people get fed up with that and won’t cast him. Why would you bother when you can get any number of equally good or better actors to do the job who are also easy to work with?
Hilarious that GB News have 'launched an investigation' and claimed that Fox's comments "do not reflect our values". Apparently their values do extend to continuing to employ Dan Wootten who sat there laughing.It’s Ava Santina… absolutely appalling behaviour from Fox and Wootton.
I’m not so sure. I think him posting information specifically about only people from one certain race/ethnicity along with the crimes they have committed is pretty racist. All ethnicities and cultures have people who commit crimes. Every single one. But if you list only the crimes from a specific ethnicity/race it is surely for one aim only which is to incite anger and distrust towards that certain ethnicity??I don't think he is a racist per se; more ignorant maybe - but his white, male privilege is definitely showing, big time.
As a mental health professional. I’ll let you in to the reality. There’s so many cases of people ‘playing the system’ or ‘playing the mental health card’ to have the maximum paid time off work. These cases swamped services but we’re given priority due to financial impacts of the company. Pressure was put on putting occupational health cases to get people back into work. A few years back, my regular appointment was taken away and re-scheduled for another week so i could provide guidance to man who drank too much alcohol and got into local football fights, took time off work to ‘play the card’ and he occasionally beat his girlfriend when his football team didn’t win or if his bets didn’t pay off. His mental health was prioritised over another man who’s background would make you all cry, a sensitive, articulate and caring young man who unfortunately battled drug dependency. He was economically inactive for 2 years as they stated. During the consultation with the ‘card playing thug’ I was informed because of the missed appointment, my other case had committed suicide. I lost a young man because of various factors, typically the greed of corporate companies wanting to bring their employees back to work. Corporate greed prevented my intervention to another young man and it haunts me.This is what I find frustrating- I disagree with what Ava said and I think she should have been called up on it. But the way Lawrence and Dan did it made it obvious that they don’t actually care about men’s mental health and the issue of male suicide but rather getting one over on a woman and their misogynist bull.
We need a very real discussion about male mental health and suicide that isn’t clouded by any other discussion. It’s similar to how it gets bloody frustrating when you talk about male violence against women and girls and you always get some bright spark pipe up with ‘men are the most likely to be killed’ or ‘what about domestic abuse against men?’ Important topics but they shouldn’t be used to negate the other.
Believe me, plenty of white people think he’s a racist too. I mean, he is one!I didn't realise he blacked up his sons, no wonder he had to fight for custody. Have you seen his latest girlfriend? Mixed race and rocking the box braids when she accompanied him to court. He's seriously punching.

The thing is, a lot of black people including myself consider him to be a racist.
